In this video, we head to the Rodman Dam/Rodman Reservoir area for a simple, back-to-basics truck bed camping night while we test our newer off-grid setup. It’s the kind of reset we love—quiet Florida woods, the Ocklawaha River valley nearby, and time to actually use our gadgets the way we will on our upcoming cross-country push. We cook outside, settle into the truck, and just let nature do its thing (which, honestly, is the whole point sometimes). But camping here isn’t just “pretty views.” Rodman Dam sits right in the middle of a decades-long debate in Florida—keep it as a world-class fishing spot or restore the river to a natural, flowing system. We explore the area with that context in mind and share what it feels like to camp somewhere that’s both beautiful and complicated. If you’re here for truck camping ideas, off-grid power testing, or you’re curious why this dam is so controversial (and what could happen to it), this one’s for you—and we really do want to hear where you land on the debate.
